List of data breaches and cyber attacks in November 2015

It’s a big list this month. I was hoping that the longest section of the list would be the ‘Fighting back against cyber crime’ section, but a spate of DDoS attacks has attempted to overshadow the successes of law enforcement agencies around the world.

There haven’t been as many payment card breaches as I expected there to be in November, but with Christmas coming up I imagine we’ll see a spike in the number of POS malware discoveries in the next few months.

Be sure to share this article with your colleagues, and let them know of the impressive list of this month’s stories about fighting back against cyber crime.

Great articles and so many thanks, we have some very new technology that we would love to showcase, would you be interested in testing them out? or do you know anyone who might trial and review

Do you have an estimated number of records stolen this month? It is of interest to show the scale of the problem. Can you regionalise the data, say by country where breach reported? I appreciate it will be rough.

Hello,

I’ll do my best to gather all the information required. I’ll wait until this month is over until I start counting!

Thanks

Thanks Lewis, much appreciated. The count at the end of last month’s list was a useful indication of scale.
